French brand Citroen has locked in an updated medium SUV for Australia, with a new look and more technology – but it's unclear when it will go on sale.

A cheaper Feel model was offered at the time for $39,990, but has since been axed. The C4 and C5 X's Advanced Comfort leather or Alcantara front seats feature, filled with foam. Further information, including launch timings, will be made available in the coming months." Pricing for the 2023 Citroen C5 Aircross will be revealed closer to its local launch, and it remains to be seen if it's hit with a price rise compared to the current model, which is sold in a single Shine specification from $52,300 plus on-road costs. This PHEV powertrain has not been certified for sale in Australia – much like the upcoming C5 X wagon, which is limited to a 133kW 1.6-litre petrol engine locally. The facelifted 2023 Citroen C5 Aircross has been locked in for Australia – though showroom arrival timing is yet to be confirmed.

A teen driver drove with his head out the window instead of defrosting his window. It cost him $150.

Police spotted the 19-year-old driving down Dundas St, on Sunday at 9am, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said. Construction is booming with Dunedin's hospital rebuild and CBD upgrade. The legal breath alcohol limit is 250mcg. Tourism, migrant workers and international students are returning. Police located the vehicle only for the driver to ‘’do a burnout in front of police, before taking off’’. A teen spotted driving in Dunedin’s student area with his head out the window to avoid deicing his windscreen has been slapped with a fine.

A car driven by a 19-year-old woman then came around the corner, travelling east. She was taken to hospital as a precaution, but only received a small cut to her head, Snr Sgt Bond said. "If you slide on the ice, you’re not going to stop and you’re going to crash into other vehicles," Snr Sgt Bond said.

The BMW X6 M50i has gained a range of black and red BMW Individual design touches, creating the Black Vermillion Edition.

- X6 M50i – $170,900 plus on-road costs - X6 M50i Pure – $155,900 plus on-road costs To secure one of the five cars, buyers place a $5000 reservation fee.

BMW has made the already distinctive X6 more so with the Black Vermillion Edition. Just five are coming to Australia.

The company first revealed the X6 Black Vermillion last July, alongside Black Vermillion editions of the X5 and X7. Specification highlights for the X6 Black Vermillion Edition also include: BMW is bringing just five examples of its X6 Black Vermillion Edition to Australia, priced at $208,900 drive-away.

The return of Chinese brand Chery to Australia is one step closer, as an evaluation vehicle is spotted on Melbourne roads in camouflage.

Our thanks to reader Aiden for the photo and video. Drive has contacted Chery Australia for more details. Chery is slated to return to the Australian market in late 2022 – seven years after its first attempt to carve a niche here in 2015, after an unsuccessful four-year run marred by poor safety ratings and an asbestos recall.

Mercedes-Benz has axed its first diesel G-Class in three years just 12 months after it went on sale, amid high demand for the G63.

The G400d's axing will come at no surprise after looking at the G-Class's sales numbers, as the vast majority of G-Class sales last year were back-ordered G63 – and no G400d examples were delivered in the first half of this year. However, orders for all G-Class models closed in July 2021 due to high demand – and a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson has confirmed to Drive the G400d will not be made available again once orders eventually re-open, with the Mercedes-AMG G63 to once again be the sole variant locally. Announced in March 2021 – and introduced to Mercedes-Benz showrooms that July – the G400d was the first diesel-engined G-Class variant in three years, offered as a cheaper, less exuberant alternative to the flagship AMG G63 variant.

The big Jeep was on a transport truck when it proved too tall for the overpass and became wedged underneath.

It’s based on the Ram 1500 pick-up, and is offered with a 288kW/548Nm 5.7-litre V8 and the option or rear or four-wheel drive. Available in regular and ‘Grand’ Wagoneer forms, the full-size Jeep is the largest vehicle in the brand’s history, with an even-longer Grand Wagoneer L (5758mm) set to arrive later this year. This is a very expensive way to work out that the height of a 2023 Jeep Wagoneer on a car transporter is just a little more than 14 feet, four inches (4.37m).

A workhorse cab-chassis version of the GWM Ute is on its way to Australia – a few months later than anticipated.

The current GWM Ute range is priced from $35,990 to $45,490 drive-away. Australian government documents reveal a much broader expansion of the GWM Ute range could be on the cards – including a six-speed manual transmission for the dual-cab pick-up, and a s ingle-cab body with cab-chassis and pick-up styles, two- or four-wheel drive, and manual or automatic transmissions. The 2023 GWM Ute cab chassis is bound for Australia within the coming months, Drive understands.

Some of the backpacks that were donated or purchased for the fourth annual Supplies for Success. LEOMINSTER — For foster children and foster parents alike, back ...

Please include “School Supplies” in the memo box or line. When the pandemic hit, Fostering Change lost the home for its distributions when the Leominster Knights of Columbus Hall could no longer be used. And foster parents might have to scramble in terms of time or money to buy the school supplies those children need. “Every single ounce of what people supply and provide us with [will help],” English said. “It’s community showing community.” For a list of suggested items to buy for the drive, visit the wishlists on Amazon ( https://amzn.to/3RSlX3b) and Target ( https://bit.ly/3czU53Q). Physical or virtual gift cards from Target, Amazon, Staples and Visa will also be accepted. Over the last couple of years, English said, the number of foster children assisted through the collection drive has “almost doubled, unfortunately, so we have a lot more kids we service than we did in previous years.” Fostering Change has been able to bring in enough items and money for both the Supplies for Success Drive and its annual Christmas gift collection drive, which in 2022 will mark its eighth year. The organization English founded to help foster families, Fostering Change, has since 2018 held the Supplies for Success Drive to collect the necessities foster children in pre-kindergarten through college undergraduate will need to head back to school. English estimated that more than 200 foster children would get back-to-school items through the fifth annual Supplies for Success Drive. In 2021, she said, 189 foster children received supplies. “Usually,” English said, “the hardest products for us to get are high-quality backpacks, especially for our middle and high school age levels; the scientific calculators, as a lot of teachers are asking for those, as kids are doing a lot more work online as opposed to paper form; and the binders are huge, because binders are just so expensive now, as is everything.” Lindsey English of Leominster experienced this while in foster care as a teenager — entering a foster home two weeks before the start of her senior year with no back-to-school supplies.

Research confirms 'extremely broad' range of symptoms reported by sufferers for more than two years.

The NHS list of common Covid symptoms also includes signs such as fatigue, rashes and brain fog. “Women are, for example, more likely to experience autoimmune diseases. As well as spotting a wider set of symptoms, researchers also identified key groups and behaviour that put people at increased risk of developing long Covid. They suggested that women, younger people and those from a black, mixed or other ethnic group were at greater risk of long Covid.

Patterns of symptoms tended to be grouped into respiratory symptoms, mental health and cognitive problems, and then a broader range of symptoms. As well as ...

While this figure will include many people who have been infected more than once and more than a million have died from the disease, a rough estimate suggests some 18 million people could be suffering from Long Covid in the U.S. That’s how many Covid survivors may develop symptoms of Long Covid, according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the U.S., there have been nearly 90 million cases of Covid-19 recorded, according to CDC data. Evidence suggests vaccination may offer little protection against developing the condition and there are no proven treatments for those with Long Covid. In addition to experiencing sometimes debilitating symptoms, a Covid infection is also associated with an increased risk of death or chronic illness like diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

Anthropogenic nitrogen inputs cause major negative environmental impacts, including emissions of the important greenhouse gas N2O.

Biogeosciences, 18, 4629–4650,https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-18-4629-2021(2021). J. Atmos. Sci. 54, 2045–2059 (1997). The soil N module of IsoTONE estimates fractionational losses of N to different pathways based on δ15Nsoil (see Methods: Global dataset for δ15Nsoil). The module is based on the equations used by Houlton, Bai 38 and Bai et al. PNAS 113, E2608–E2616 (2016). Glob. Change Biol. 18, 435–447 (2012). The sample-specific reported ancillary data was compared to the global gridded datasets at the same geographical locations (see Supplementary Note 1). The strongest relationships between ancillary data and emission factors were determined, and used to bin emission factor data into 16 different geographical regions to simplify comparison with modelled emission factors and minimise the impact of localised emission hotspots (see details in Supplementary Note 1: N2O emission factors). The δ15N grid (see Methods: Global dataset for δ15Nsoil; Supplementary Fig. 2a) was first initialised in each model run by adding 5% of the uncertainty in δ15N (Supplementary Fig. 2b) multiplied by a normally distributed random number (μ = 0, σ = 1). For each grid cell, the soil model was initialised with an available soil nitrogen pool of size 1 (unitless) with δ15N of 0‰, and a soil N2O pool of of size 1 (unitless) with δ15N and δ15NSP of 0‰. The 14N input rate (ki) was set at 1 (unitless) and the 15N input rate (ki,15) calculated using δ15Ni of 0.5‰ (based on 39, 112, 113, 114). Changing the unitless pool sizes affects only the number of iterations until steady state is reached in the model, and not the final result of the model. The spatial distribution of N inputs plays a key role in determining the overall global EF for N2O (Fig. 4). The mean global EF for N2O weighted by area was 1.1 ± 0.1%, close to the IPCC default value of 1.4% for combined direct and indirect emissions 72, 73. This caused the rate of change for the tropospheric N2O burden to peak at 0.026 nmol mol−1 a−1 a−1 (Fig. 2). After 2015, the growth rate of emissions strongly decreased, meaning the 10-year mean growth for 2010–2020 was 0.14 Tg N2O-N a−1 a−1 and thus within then normal range for the last half-century (Fig. 2). Fluctuations in the growth rate for tropospheric background N2O mixing ratio reflected the growth rate in emissions driven by different input categories. The 10-year mean growth of total anthropogenic N2O emissions was between 0 and 0.04 Tg N2O-N a−1 a−1 until ~1945 (Fig. 2). Between 1945 and 1980 the 10-year mean growth rate in emissions increased to 0.12 ± 0.02 Tg N2O-N a−1 a−1 due to rapid growth in fertiliser inputs, after which it stabilised at around 0.1 Tg N2O-N a−1 a−1, corresponding to a steady rate of change of around 0.015 nmol mol−1 a−1 a−1 in tropospheric background N2O growth rate. In 2020, 60% of N2O emitted from soils (7.5 ± 0.4 Tg N2O-N a−1) was produced from denitrification and 39% (4.7 ± 0.8 Tg N2O-N a−1) from nitrification. Natural N2O emissions are dominated by N inputs from fixation (4.7 ± 0.8 Tg N2O-N a−1, 90% of natural emissions). In contrast, anthropogenic soil emissions are dominated by N inputs from deposition (70% of 1940 and 51% of 2020 emissions), although fertilisation is becoming increasingly important (14% of 1940 and 22% of 2020 emissions) (Table 1). The spatial distribution of emissions from fertilisation, deposition and fixation for natural and anthropogenic soils for 2020 is shown in Supplementary Fig. 12, with ‘anthropogenic emissions’ referring to all emissions above the preindustrial baseline, thus accounting for both direct and indirect anthropogenic N2O sources.

The first deliveries of the new Ranger have been marred by complaints of tailshaft vibrations, but Ford says it is working on a fix through its dealers.

Ford Australia has told Drive it is aware of the problem, and dealers have been told to conduct pre-delivery test drives as a part of the quality control process. A handful of owners have said their Ford dealers picked up the vibration in pre-delivery drives and are withholding vehicles until the fault is fixed. The first deliveries of the new-generation Ford Ranger have been marred by complaints of tailshaft vibrations, but the company says it is working on a fix.

That commute would have cost $969 over that 12-month period for a passenger vehicle with a post-2015 average fuel economy of 10.4 litres per 100 kilometres and ...

This calculation doesn’t take the halving of the fuel excise in March 2022 into account. However, Australians are expected to go back to paying the full excise on September 28, 2022, which will likely lead to a jump in fuel prices. For the average car commuter in Greater Melbourne, who travels 16.58 kilometres to work (compared to 19.1 kilometres in the rest of Victoria), a $50 refill will now get you 13 one-way trips to work, compared to 21.5 trips in 2019-20. That commute would have cost $969 over that 12-month period for a passenger vehicle with a post-2015 average fuel economy of 10.4 litres per 100 kilometres and with petrol costing 135 cents per litre in Victoria in 2019-20. In Victoria, people who commute to work in a car drove, on average, a total of 6900 kilometres each over the 12 months to June 30, 2020, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures. At current fuel prices, people in Victoria are paying $629 more over the year to drive to work than they did in 2019-2020.
